One of the times the importance of safe drinkable water becomes especially important is in the aftermath of a natural disaster.    As the earth's limited supply of good quality drinking water is degraded by pollution and other factors, many are worried about future water supplies.        People in industrial countries don't worry much about water quality as long as the water coming out of their faucets is safe to drink.    Millions of people in developing counties don't have those faucets and running water in their homes.   They rely on water in streams and lakes near their villages and farms, or on public wells.  

When a large natural disaster strikes, the safe water can suddenly be tainted, contaminated or gone.    The recent earthquakes in Haiti, China, Japan and other counties around the world caused millions of people to become homeless, and destroyed plumbing and safe water sources.    One of the most important supplies to get to these earth quake victims was safe drinkable water.    You can go without food for days, but you can't live without safe water.    Part of every disaster preparedness plan should be access to safe drinkable water.  


Tornadoes, floods and hurricanes can disrupt the normal water supplies of towns, cities and rural areas.  Hurricane Katrina was an example of how there can be way too much water--all of it unsafe to drink.    Imagine being on the verge of drowning while suffering from extreme thirst. The phrase "water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink" becomes all too true after a natural disaster causes all the open water sources to be undrinkable.    In these cases access to safe drinking water is the difference between life and death to many people.  Disaster preparedness plans that included portable water filtration devices like that of the SureAqua that provides the highest quality of clean safe drinking water.      In choosing a portable water filtration device consideration must be made for the storage.     Chemical and ionisation products have a very short life span, typically less than 12 months and less in hot humid conditions.  

Every village, town and city should have a warehouse full or portable water filtration devices set aside as part of their disaster preparedness plans.    Every home should have access to a portable water filtration device to supply of safe water.  The devices should be small enough to be able to be kept in safe places, like in the car, home and handbag/briefcase, just in case of an emergency.   But, what if the emergency becomes a lack of good quality drinking water around the world?    What if the world's water quality is degraded beyond safe limits?  

This is where a product range like SureAqua come in its own in providing safe drinking water when water is contaminated with bacteria, protozoa’s and viruses.  

Water quality in lakes, rivers, seas and oceans needs to be guarded diligently so that future generations have water to drink.        If all the water is unsafe, where does the bottled water come from?   

In many countries around the world, there are no laws regarding the water quality standards for bottle water.     

Governments, scientists, industries, farmers and others need to cooperate in a worldwide plan to keep water supplies safe.     Clean up polluted water sources and keep them clean.
